PARENT/CHILD AND PRESCHOOL AQUATIC PROGRAM

Swim Lesson Fees

Member $91

Community $143

Reaches children and parents early in their relationship. Parents are given guidance on how to develop their children’s abilities and how to protect their children from harm in, on, and around the water; children are given the chance to explore a new environment and to build skills that add to their self-confidence. Both benefit from taking part in an experience that lets them learn and have fun together in the water.The skills taught in the Parent/Child and Preschool Aquatic Program center around five main components:• Personal safety: Activities that help increase awareness

of personal safety issues for both the child and the family, including boating safety

• Personal growth: Activities that help the child and the family grow in spirit, mind, and body, including character development

• Stroke development: Activities that help develop swimming abilities so participants can move in the water safely

• Water sports and games: Activities that help develop an appreciation of aquatic activities that may last a lifetime, including age-appropriate games and songs.

• Rescue: Activities that build awareness of how to help others in aquatic emergencies

PARENT/CHILD SWIM CLASSES (6-36 months)

Shrimp (6-8 months) This is an introduction to the aquatic environment for parents and their infants. Parents are encouraged to develop appropriate expectations for their children’s performance in the water. They learn basic aquatic safety and have a positive experience with their children that can help them grow closer.

Kipper (9-12 months) This level continues to provide positive aquatic experiences for parents and infants. The infants learn basic water skills and have fun playing with toys and flotation devices. Parents review and learn more about basic aquatic safety.

Inia (13-18 months) Children do more independent exploration of the aquatic environment with help from parents. The parents again review and learn additional information about aquatic safety. The program provides opportunities for parent-child teams to socialize with each other.

Perch (19-36 months) Children start moving more independently through the water under their parents’ guidance. Parents learn more about aquatic and boating safety, and children begin to learn something about these topics as well. At this point the instructor begins to prepare the children to work directly with an instructor on their own.


The YMCA helps youth develop valuable skills and a lifetime love of the water, while instilling responsibility and safety instruction.• Personal Safety: Students learn to be safety conscious

in and around water. The information forms the basis of accident prevention. Survival skills, self-rescue and boating safety are taught.

• Personal Growth: In learning new skills students build self-esteem. They also learn the consequences of their choices in relation to water safety.

• Stroke Development: Students are taught through stroke techniques. Paddling skills, treading, floating, basic rescue skills and safety using lifejackets are among those taught.

• Water Games: Games are used to enhance skills learned. Retrieving objects underwater and passing a ball are examples of is taught.

• Rescue: Students learn safety techniques – knowing when to yell for help, being able to go to an adult for assistance, reaching and throwing assists.

Polliwog (Beginner)This is the beginning level for school-age children. It gets children acquainted with the pool, the use of flotation devices, and front and back floating. By the end of this level, they should know the front paddle stroke, side and back paddle, and some synchronized swimming and wetball movements.

Guppy (Advanced Beginner)The children continue to practice and build upon basic skills, now performing more skills without the aid of a flotation device. They are introduced to lead-up strokes to the front and back crawl, sidestroke, breaststroke, and elementary backstroke. More synchronized swimming and wetball skills are taught, as well as some diving skills.

Minnow (Intermediate)This is the initial intermediate skill. The children further refine the lead-up strokes they have learned as their skills become more like those normally used in swimming. They learn still more synchronized swimming, wetball, and diving skills.

Fish (Intermediate)At this point, students work to perform the crawl stroke, elementary backstroke, back crawl stroke, and sidestroke, with turns. They are introduced to the butterfly stroke. They continue learning additional synchronized swimming movements, wetball skills, and diving skills, and are introduced to the use of mask and fins.

Flying Fish (Advanced)At this advanced level, students work on refining their strokes and increasing their endurance. They develop the ability to perform more complex combinations of synchronized swimming movements, learn to dive off a one-meter board, and develop better wetball playing skills. They also are introduced to the use of a snorkel.

Shark (Advanced)The students at this level continue to improve their strokes, with starts and turns, and are introduced to the inverted breaststroke, the crawl, and the overarm sidestroke. Opportunities are provided for further work on synchronized swimming, wetball, and skin diving.

Porpoise (Advanced)At this final level, students are exposed to a wide range of aquatic experiences through a class and club format. In class these advanced swimmers learn new strokes and rescue skills, as well as develop volunteerism and leadership skills. Through the club, they try various aquatic sports and games, with club members forming smaller groups to explore different aquatic pursuits in more depth.

Competitive Skills & Drills In this class we build stamina and improve mastery of the four competitive strokes: front crawl, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly. We offer a variety of workouts with an instructor on deck. Workouts swim an average of about 1,000 to 2,000 yards. The lanes vary by the swimmers’ ability and speed. Teen Stroke Clinic is not a “learn to swim” program, but we do offer the opportunity for all levels to receive instruction on technique.
